Wimbledon Common
.

December 2008

The ride to Wimbledon Common was planned back in the summer, I wondered what a 25 mile largely off-road ride would be like in December, would anyone turn up?

We were lucky with a cold but bright and dry day with the paths free from mud. 13 of us enjoyed the ride. The route took the river from Kew Bridge, past the Wetlands Centre at Barnes ending up at the windmill on Wimbledon Common where we stopped for lunch. (Extensive cake selection in the cafe).

Return was through Richmond Park and along the river past Kew Gardens back to Kew Bridge. The ride, although a fair distance for some, passed easily and enjoyably.
